The Credit Facility Term Sheet is a crucial document in the loan origination process, typically used in Hong Kong when a lender and borrower have reached preliminary agreement on the main commercial terms of a credit facility but before proceeding to full documentation. It captures the essential elements of the proposed facility, including amount, purpose, pricing, security, and key undertakings, while allowing flexibility for detailed negotiation in the final agreement. The document follows Hong Kong banking practices and regulatory requirements, serving as a roadmap for lawyers drafting the full facility agreement and for obtaining internal credit approvals. While mostly non-binding, it often includes certain binding provisions such as confidentiality, exclusivity, and cost arrangements. The term sheet is particularly important in complex financing transactions where multiple parties need to align on key terms before investing in full documentation.
